What is Mitochondrial Eve about?

At the request of his new girlfriend, Paul, a post-doctoral physics student, begrudgingly agrees to have a sample of his blood analyzed by the Children of Eve. The techno-cult claims their mitochondrial DNA sequencing has traced back 200,000 years to identify a sub-Saharan Homo Sapien as the single mother of the entire human species. Rival groups discount the claims, and the race is on to provide definitive proof. Paul's blood analysis shows the migration patterns of his ancestors, but the limited technology allows only approximations. Curiosity ... along with the cult's funding ... prompts Paul to take on a project that, if successful, will be able to exactly identify the ancestral placement of every human who ever lived ... and once and for all dispel the tragic notion that we are separated by race.words : 8953
